This event is this Saturday. 7:30am & 9am classes are cancelled. We will start heats of 12 athletes every 35 minutes beginning at 7:30am. You must choose your own start time to begin the WOD. You are encouraged, but not obligated, to click on the link below and donate $31 to this cause. You get a T-shirt and the proceeds go to the families of these heroes. The workout is a challenging Hero WOD, but like any WOD we do in CrossFit, it is modifiable and scaleable to any fitness level. You can still join us on the WOD, if you don’t donate. Sign up sheet for heat times will be at the gym. Hope to see you all there. – WW

This was a sick shot from CrownTown’s photographer, Chrissie Cacao, capturing the moment after “CrownTown Crushers” finished the first WOD at the Rose Bowl last Saturday. It’s a great depiction of the feeling you get after laying it all on the line with your team. Good stuff. – WW
